Game over / international project

Location: New-York city / New York

Type: Student Films

We are an international crew taking part an the inaugural exchange program allowing young up-and-coming directors to make films abroad. The project is called CineNomad School and is based out of SUNY Purchase Film Conservatory in NY.

GAME OVER is a drama that tells the story of EVA, a young mother fighting to make ends meet. She tries to balance her studies, her job, and her young child which leaves no time for her to enjoy her youth. The central conflict of GAME OVER is between Eva and her boyfriend and the father, DAVE, who is addicted to video games. When Eva finally tries to take a break, the true gravity of Dave’s addiction is revealed. The film explores the perils of this modern addiction.
